PyCharm 4.5.3 Help

Creating Imports

Overview

When you reference a class that has not been imported, PyCharm helps you locate this file and
add it to the list of imports . You can import a single class or an entire package,
depending on your settings.

The import statement adds to the imports section, but the cursor does not
move from the current position, and your current editing session does not interrupt. This feature is
known as the Import Assistant.

Press Alt+Enter. If there are multiple choices, select the desired
import from the list.

PyCharm provides a quick fix that automatically installs the package you’re trying to import: if, after the keyword
import, you type a name of a package that is not currently available on your machine,
a quick fix suggests you to either ignore the unresolved reference, or download and install the missing package:

Press Alt+Enter. If there are multiple choices, select
the desired namespace from the list.
